Toddler Vocabulary Translations -- by Laura Houston

I don’t understand why some words resonate with toddlers. Like washing machine. I’ve never thought about it, but that’s a fun thing to say. It really gets the mouth muscles moving and there’s a lot of air in it.

Here are some of the things the boys are teaching me about language these days.

How adorable! This takes me back to when my son was trying to learn the names of our dogs. One is named Maxi and the other Lama (don't ask). Whenever he saw one of the dogs, he would call out, "I Ma; I La" = "Hi Maxi! Hi Lama!" I told my son recently that he used to call them "Ma" and "La." He's currently trying it out on them and is wondering why they don't respond. They didn't respond back then either!
